Chapter 764: Strong Disruption (Part )
Everyone present was familiar with Long Yu's vicious reputation.
In the past, the six major sects led by Shaolin and Wudang entered Xijing Prefecture aggressively and almost broke out into an unprecedented martial arts fight with the four major families led by the Qin family.
The root cause of this was the "sowing discord" plan designed by Long Yu.
At that time, if Su He had not arrived in time to save Long Yu's life from Liu Xunyi's knife, and had not single-handedly withstood the difficulties and oppression from various sects and families in the Central Plains, Long Yu would have died in Xijing and become a pile of dry bones in a grave.
All in all, Long Yu has intricate grievances with several key figures present.
The tit-for-tat hatred with Liu Xunyi, the secret hatred with the Qin family, the gratitude with Su He for saving him at the cost of his life...
It's a pity that Long Yu has never had the concept of "distinguishing between gratitude and resentment, and repaying kindness" in his heart. He is a complete madman, violent by nature, moody, unscrupulous, and reckless.
If there was only a trace of rationality left in Long Yu's heart, it was his sworn loyalty to the Mongol Khan.
There were not many people in the world who caught his eye. Apart from the Great Khan of Mongolia and the great Mongolian generals like Batu and Hulagu who had made great military achievements and were feared by the world, he hardly took anyone seriously, even the King of Hexi and Sui Zuo.
Of course, Hule, the brother of the Mongolian Khan, the most powerful prince in Mongolia, and Zhao Xin's future husband, was also one of the few people who made Long Yu bow down to him.
It is worth mentioning that Long Yu not only had no gratitude towards Su He, but always regarded him as his biggest opponent.
To this day, Long Yu still holds great contempt and resentment towards Su He, who "traveled thousands of miles across the northern desert and captured twenty-four cities in a row. He wielded a curved sword and rode a Hu horse as fast as he could."
In particular, he was quite critical of Su He's proud record of "defeating the 24 cities of Mobei by himself". Everything was just as Long Yu said: "If I had stayed in the 24 cities, Su He might not have gotten what he wanted."
Although he was a madman, he had made great achievements in the army since he was young, and even the Mongolian Khan often praised him. One of the words was "On the map of the Mongolian Iron Army's westward expedition, the most dazzling thing is Long Yu's blood", which he always regarded as the greatest honor in his life.
The pride of the grassland, a murderous madman, was deeply favored by the Mongol Khan. He was even regarded by the Mongol Khan as an invincible sword that could be used at will to help him solve the most difficult and troublesome problems.
This includes the incident of "wiping out the Central Plains martial arts world" in the past.
However, he failed that time. Long Yu had made all kinds of plans, but he failed to predict that his plan, which should have been perfect, would eventually fail at the hands of a businessman who "accidentally" made the mistake.
Shen Dongshan's move of "the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind" not only made Long Yu's carefully designed "dead end" fail, but also caused his status in the heart of the Mongolian Khan to plummet.
Especially when he learned that Su He was sent to Lin'an to pick up the bride, the humiliation and dissatisfaction in his heart were beyond words.
However, when the news came from Yunya Town and he learned that Su He was not doing a good job, Long Yu rekindled his hope of regaining his dignity.
"Master Lu, Palace Master Qin!"
As if sensing the somewhat oppressive atmosphere in the inn, Su He pretended not to hear Long Yu's threat, and bowed to Lu Tingxiang and Qin Ku one after another, saying seriously: "Liu Xunyi is the envoy of the Song Dynasty. He is not only a friend of the princess, but also a distinguished guest of my Mongolia. Therefore, if you two want to take him away tonight, I'm afraid... it will be a little inconvenient. In this case, Su dares to mediate. You and Brother Liu will put aside your grievances today, and wait until the truth is found out in the future. What do you think?"
At this moment, the posture of the Mongols was tantamount to "an enemy at the gates".
Even so, Su He did not take advantage of others' misfortune, nor did he bully the weak. Instead, he was polite and gentle in his words.
It was expected that he did not make things difficult for Qin Ku, but he also did not make things difficult for Lu Tingxiang, which surprised many people.
In fact, Su He was unwilling to "pursue the victory" not because he was afraid of Lu Tingxiang, but because of other reasons.
First, he did not want to further deepen the hatred between Mongolia and the Central Plains. Second, as a Mongolian, he could not intervene in the grievances of the Central Plains martial arts world, lest he end up making things worse and not only fail to help Liu Xunyi clear his grievances, but also add another infamy of "colluding with foreign races" and "harming brothers and sisters".
Su He understood Liu Xunyi's temperament very well, and knew that he valued the interests of his country and family more than his own life, and would never sell out his reputation just to survive.
This was another major reason why Su He had been holding back from helping him. After all, if Su He helped him, it would mean that Liu Xunyi would have to live in exile outside the Great Wall for the rest of his life, living with foreigners, and he would never have the chance to return to the Central Plains and recognize his ancestors again in this life.
"This……"
"I agree!" Before Lu Tingxiang hesitated, Qin Ku could not wait to agree. "I have said it before, don't fight unless there is something wrong. Isn't it better for everyone to be friends in a friendly manner? Since there is no chance to take Liu Xunyi away today, Qin will not bother you anymore. If there is nothing else, we will go back first. We are all very busy..."
After saying that, Qin Ku bowed to Lu Tingxiang, whose face was as gloomy as water, and said with a simple smile: "Mr. Lu, tonight we can say that we have known each other for a long time. You and I both want to take Liu Xunyi to the Xianwang Mansion to exchange for benefits. We all come for profit, and we all go for profit, so no one should bear a grudge against each other, hehe..."
Qin Ku was really thick-skinned. Just now he and Lu Tingxiang were fighting to the death. In the blink of an eye, he was smiling and talking glibly like an outsider.
Qin Ku was so shameless that Lu Tingxiang felt contemptuous of him but also a little amused.
"Qin Ku, do you think that by saying a few nice words, you can make us forget what just happened?" Si Kong Zhu said in a deep voice, "You clearly want to protect Liu Xunyi, but you dare not admit it, fearing that the Qin family will become the target of public criticism..."
"Cough cough!"
Before Sikong Zhu finished speaking, Ding Ao suddenly coughed twice and reminded him in a low voice: "Master Zhu, now... doesn't seem to be the time to argue. Qin Ku and Liu Xunyi are in the same group, and Liu Xunyi is in league with the Mongols. If we make things awkward... I'm afraid it won't end well tonight."
"You..." "Palace Master Qin is a man of quick words, Su admires you!" Su He suddenly interrupted Si Kongzhu and cast a deep gaze at Lu Tingxiang who remained silent, saying in a veiled manner, "As the saying goes, 'A man who knows the current situation is a hero.' Now that Palace Master Qin has agreed to make peace, I wonder... what is Mr. Lu thinking?"
"I……"
Although Lu Tingxiang was extremely unwilling, he knew very well that "a gentleman should not stand under a dangerous wall". He swept his tangled eyes over the disciples one by one. Although he did not say it explicitly, through their eager and uneasy eyes, Lu Tingxiang could clearly feel the disciples' fear and uneasiness.
In the end, Lu Tingxiang had to suppress his inner shame and anger and made a difficult compromise with Su He: "Lu... also agrees with the arrangement of Hero Su."
As soon as these words were spoken, Su He and all the disciples of the Lu family breathed a sigh of relief.
"If that's the case, then..."
“They agree, but I don’t!”
Before Su He could end the conversation, Long Yu, who was watching the fun from the side, suddenly spoke up and said something shocking, causing the atmosphere that had finally eased to fall into an icy valley again.
"All Han people who appear at the Weizhou Inn tonight, except the princess, will... die."
"hiss!"
When Long Yu said this, everyone was shocked.
After a brief silence, the disciples from the Lu and Qin families, who seemed to have been suppressed to the point of being unable to endure it any longer, suddenly burst into emotion.
"Who the hell are you?"
"Do you think we are afraid of you?"
"Fight if you want, at worst we'll both die!"
"Everyone has one life. You have knives, and so do we. If we really fight, I'll kill one to get my money's worth, and I'll make a profit if I kill two!"
"We knew that these Tartar dogs were not so kind. We don't need to waste time talking to them. We can just kill them!"
"Sir, give the order!"
"Master, we will never bow to them!"
……
For a moment, the crowd was eager to fight, and the emotions were excited. Shouts, scolding, and provocations came from all directions, and they were getting more and more intense.
Looking at the livid Lu Tingxiang and the unfriendly Qin Ku, before Liu Xunyi could persuade him, Su He had already taken the initiative to jump down from the second floor, and in the blink of an eye, he flew in front of Long Yu and said in a serious tone: "You are playing with fire!"
"So what?" Long Yu smiled nonchalantly, "Since you went to Tianshan, you seem to be getting more and more timid. These Han people will sooner or later be a thorn in our eyes and flesh, but not only do you not know how to draw a clear line with them, but you call them brothers and sisters, and talk about 'jianghu morality'. It's childish and ridiculous!"
"Long Yu, you dare..."
"Of course I dare!" Long Yu interrupted with a look of disdain, "I know you don't dare to offend them, but I do. I don't care about the bullshit Central Plains martial arts world, and I don't care about their revenge in the future. Because of them, you, Lord Yanling, me, and General Sui have been angered by the Khan one after another. Don't you feel angry at all? Don't you feel resentful at all? Don't you want to take revenge at all?"
"Long Yu, I only want to ask you one question. I hope you can answer me honestly." Su He was not deceived by Long Yu and asked directly, "Whose order did you follow to kill them all? The Khan? The prince? General Sui? Or... did you do it on your own?"
"It doesn't matter who gave the order. What matters is... the military token is in my hand." Long Yu pointed at the Mongolian soldiers standing around and said with a sly smile, "As long as I give the order, the two thousand elite soldiers will dare not disobey. Tonight, even if you bring up the king of heaven, they will not dare to disobey my order."
"So, it was you who made the decision on your own and acted on your own?" Su He said, "Long Yu, don't be greedy for temporary pleasure. Be careful not to make a big mistake and regret it later."
"Su He, you are not qualified to teach me, let alone order me. Just stand aside and watch the show. I don't expect you to help me, just don't make trouble for me." Having said this, Long Yu showed Su He a creepy smile and said, "Of course, if you dare to betray me and collude with these Han people to be enemies of my tribe, I don't mind killing one more person."
After saying that, Long Yu no longer gave Su He a chance to argue. He pushed him away rudely and walked towards Qin Ku with big strides accompanied by Ya Kun.
"I know you! In the past at the Tianlong Inn, you and Liu Xunyi attacked me together."
Long Yu walked in front of Qin Ku. The two were less than a step away from each other. Their eyes met with very different expressions.
His tone was sometimes crazy and sometimes serious, sometimes resentful and sometimes secretly happy, sometimes cowardly and sometimes arrogant. Suddenly, he came close to Qin Ku and sniffed around his body with his nose, and gradually a trace of intoxication emerged in his eyes as if he had smelled prey.
"Don't worry, the incident at the Tianlong Inn was just a trivial matter, I won't bear a grudge. However, what happened at the Qin family is unforgettable to me. Although you are not Qin Ming, you are the head of the Qin family. You and he have the same blood, and even the smell of your body is exactly the same. I miss you day and night, and I am hungry for you. You are unlucky tonight, because... I want to use your internal organs as a drink."
